The food service and ambience is one of the best in the area great food! And for the owner, Steve and his staff exceptional!

So after an almost 5-star experience at the Arlington Heights location, we decided to give the Hoffman Estates location of Garibaldi's a try Fantastic service and my husband love the food I write for every type of dietary restrictions imaginable and this Garibaldi's was even worse than Arlington Heights when it came to answering simple questions about allergens in their food Celiac Disease sufferers and vegans may definitely not eat here. Again, they had no packaging to offer me for the rolls they make their garlic bread on and they did not know the brand so I could not look it up online to see if it was vegan The music was blaring here, we could not have a conversation Nice place and vegan pizza is easy - they have lots of veggies and I can order it with no cheese Garlic bread too may be made with oil,not butter There is also a very sexist mannequin here of a woman in roller skates and a tee shirt no shorts or pants We shall never return I am willing to make any modifications under the sun and they will not assist me read more

They took their Veal Parmesan Diner off the menu after probably 20 yrs or more due to what ever BS reason they have. Doesn't matter! Well, I and my family...and friends will NEVER set foot in this joint again. You lost a life time customer and family for just this reason. Good Bye..! read more

I had the Philly cheese steak with fries and drink. Honestly, I've had better Philly sandwiches elsewhere, even at the mall. This beef was like Italian beef - large slices cooked on the flat top but not at all chopped up like Philly places usually do. It was chewy and tough. Topped with provolone, which is fine. The bread I think was Turano, also good. Fries were good. I don't think I'll order this again though. Sorry Garibaldi's. read more

Have been coming here for years and always had a positive experience. This last time I had the beef grinder with provolone. It was good and better than the beef shop in the same mall. read more

My fiancé and I were craving a slice of pizza and Yelp led us here. This spot is such a vibe, from the lighting to the layout and ambiance. If you're looking for a quick little bite for a date night or with your loved ones, I highly suggest this place. The only bit of criticism we had was the fact the male employee tonight had somewhat of a bad attitude. He didn't seem like he wanted to be there at all. We ordered two slices and employees failed to mention that there was a special if you bought two slices you get a free drink and we ended up seeing that after we bought two drinks. Overall, we loved the place and will be back because the pizza is delicious and packed with flavor and freshness! Honesty the BEST PIZZA ever. No lie! read more

Garibaldi's Italian Eatery was the caterer for a tournament held at Dundee-Crown High School. Pizza is always a good idea for high school students. For the judges and coaches, we got pizza and salad and mostaccioli. The food was still warm when we got to eat it. Garibaldi's Italian Eatery's food hit the spot on a busy day. read more

My first review of the year is going to go to a place that holds a special place in my heart, as it has not changed since my childhood. The food still tastes exactly the same, and is absolutely delicious no matter what you order! The service is still impeccable, quick, and friendly. The character of the space even though the locations have changed remains the same. There is a casual feel with kind of a diner vibe as well and still has some of the old claw machines and the like that you remember from childhood. Whether you're getting a quick bite to eat with a friend, a casual fun first date, or a group outing, there is something for everyone. One of the things I love is that they do not rush you, and also they have the good ice. They offer Pizza, a variety of appetizers, pasta dishes, hot and cold sub sandwiches, and a good variety of salads. Like I said, there's something for everyone! Stop in soon! read more

What a cute, charming little Italian diner! This place was an incredibly fun place to eat, and the food wasn't half-bad either. The best part of the experience was the retro interior, complete with black and white tiles, neon lights and even an arcade room! The staff was super friendly and made us feel at home the second we entered the door. We ordered the Baked Mostaccioli-- a Midwest staple, along with a Cheese Pizza. Both were pretty tasty, especially the pizza. I just wish it had a bit more sauce on it. Overall, this was a pleasant place to have some non-traditional Italian-American fare. read more

I have a life long love of this place. The pizza is so delicious, slices as big as your head, and the price is great. Their entrees are also good, the sandwiches specifically. My family loves to come here and we celebrated some of our birthdays here this year. The inside is retro and so cool and I hope they never ever change it. The service is quick too and you can host a party here if i'm not mistaken. My favorite part is sitting under the spilling lady or next to the fish tanks. So many good memories here and I'll come back for as long as I can. read more

Today I ordered a turkey burger without tomato and no ketchup. It came plain with lettuce and onion. The burger was over cooked and tasted burnt. I don't think I will order a burger here again. I still gave 5 stars because everything else was good. An order of mozzarella sticks comes in 8 or 16 pieces! They are delicious My husband loves the chicken tenders with BBQ sauce! Will be back! read more

I love when I ask for them not to burn my eggs and they burn not only the egg, but they also burn the bread. I dont recall the bread being toasted on the pepper and egg sandwich, probably 3 day old bread that they thought, if we toast it they'll never know. read more

To start, I do like the food and the atmosphere here. The big problem I have is that the staff making the pizzas (in plain sight of the customers) do not wear gloves. They bare hand everything. The dough, toppings, etc.. This is plain gross and I'm shocked a health inspector has not seen this or been notified. I have noticed this in the past and failed to report however no less than 3 people touched my two slices today and none wore gloves. Nasty. read more

The food is fantastic. Super nice staff. Everything I have tried is delicious. The prices are extremely reasonable. My hubby complains about everything, said this was one of the best pizzas he ever had. That is saying alot! We live in Chicago, but whenever we are in the area, this is a definite go to. Come give it a try, I guarantee you will be back. read more

This place smelled delicious as I walked in. The decor inside was colorful and it looked like a great family restaurant. I was craving some good spaghetti or lasagna. But they had a Philly steak sandwich that looked good as well. So, I ordered spaghetti with meat sauce and that Philly with peppers and mushrooms. The order came out quickly and it smelled and looked great. Im a guy that likes to mix the noodles with the sauce, so I did. First off, there was not enough sauce. After mixing, it was a plate of colored noodles, it needed more sauce. But then again, the sauce was not that great. I was hoping for a thick rich sauce, but it wasn't. So I switched to the sandwich. Wow! The sandwich was packed with ingredients and the cheese held it all together. I savored every bite. Having said all of that, there were many sandwich, 5 stars. But the spaghetti only gets 3. Average it out and we have 4 stars. read more

You can eat in, take out or delivery. We chose to eat in. The parking is a shopping center so should be easy to get a spot. Huge menu to choose from. We opted for the chicken tenders and Italian beef per the previous reviews. The restaurant is like a 1950's diner with a small room for video poker. There is also outside sitting area. The cashier was very friendly and prompt and we got our beer very quick. read more

Wow, what a fun and delicious place! We can't wait to be back to try more of the menu. So far, we enjoyed the pizza, pizza bread, pasta, and chicken tenders. It was a very lively place, great for meeting up with friends or family. read more

Used to have a location on Army trail in Bloomingdale court, My mom used to take us there all the time when I was a kid. Always loved the turkey subs bc they had square pickles and tomatoes! It just changes the flavor I swear lol. They also have really good pizza and grinders :). Good atmosphere to bring kids, better than portillos . read more

I occasionally order delivery from Garibaldi's in Hoffman Estates and more often than not the pizza is not even warm when it gets delivered. They typically arrive later than they say and I don't request any reimbursement, but I will no longer order delivery moving forward. read more

Visited Schaumburg recently and checked this place out. Had sausage pizza which was excellent. Service was quality and ambience was very fun with the 50's theme. Highly recommend! read more

Never order food on an empty stomach since I went all out on this carryout order. I ordered enough for three course meals for me. When it was time to pick up the food, I had a chance to look around. It features a 50s theme with antique decor throughout the whole area and the brilliant neon lights illuminate the room well. I absolutely appreciate the atmosphere. The packing was done with care. When I went home, the meal was still warm and intact. Even though it is standard procedure, they were attentive to include napkins, plastic utensils, and a sauce package. I ordered the 8-piece wings as an appetizer. The size is reasonable. A good mix of wings and drumsticks. The wings aren't breaded or battered, but they're still crispy. The buffalo sauce was excellent, and there was minimal aftertaste of vinegar. The main entrée I ordered a foot-long hot dog. The hot dog was perfectly char grilled on a toasted bun. The topping resembles to the Chicago style, excluding the sport peppers. The topping contributes flavor and color. I had the handcut fries as a side. It was well-seasoned. It was savory, crunchy, and delightful. It pairs well with hotdogs. I got tiramisu for dessert. It had a soft and creamy texture. I recognize the aroma of coffee. It was satisfying to watch the fork smoothly cut the tiramisu, and every bite was delightful. I believe this establishment is underappreciated and should be acknowledged for its excellent service, delicious food, and reasonable rates. I will definitely return to taste their various food selections read more

Garibaldi's has a very extensive menu with lots of choices. The inside is very spacious with an additional gaming room. This would be a good place to host a large party for children as it is very bright and colorful on the inside. I was craving pizza, so I ordered a pizza with ground beef to go. I took the pizza home and began to critique it as I ate. There was plenty of cheese. The ground beef wasn't the best quality. The regular crust and sauce were okay. I would not need to revisit another pizza there. I returned for a 2nd visit and had the italian beef sandwich. It faired somewhat better than the pizza. The thinly sliced beef had a good flavor as well as the sandwich bread. The giardiniera was slightly spicy and it came with a side of au jus. I enjoyed the sandwich. read more

Celebrated a milestone birthday in Feb 2025 for a relative at this location. Food was delicious and staff was great. They worked with me to set up a menu and were flexible when we had to reschedule due to weather and our guest count fluctuated a bit the day of the party. They also accommodated me arriving early to decorate and had our party area roped off to make it feel private. We all had a great time. Would recommend if you're considering a birthday or other special occasion. Their chocolate chip cookies are huge and make a great tasty birthday treat too! read more

If you grew up in the Chicago suburbs, you will remember this spot for easily one of the best slices of pizza ever! Place holds such a special spot for me! And even though now they've consolidated into just one location its always a great experience to visit them when possible. After all of these years...their slice of cheese still tastes the same! read more

Food was delicious!!! Service was welcoming! They did get my Italian beef wrong, wanted hot peppers on the side instead of on it, but in the end it was just as good! Better than I expected!!!! read more

We had not been here for many many years. Really had forgotten it over the years. This restaurant was one of our favorites when my children were growing up - 40 years ago. IT IS BETTER THAN I REMEMBER !!! We ordered the Hot Oven Grinder and it truly was the best sandwich I have had. The restaurant was spotless and when my husband looked at the receipt we had been given the senior citizen discount. That was so nice (we are old). We will be going back soon. The other sandwiches we saw look delicious. read more

Seascape's garibaldi closed by 6p so we ended up ordering takeout through Uber eats for mozzarella sticks and a large cheese pizza which took about 15 minutes on our way home. The kids enjoyed the mozzarella sticks and the pizza was delicious. My kids and I were saying their pizza tasted better than Lou Malnati, papa johns and even Georgios in the NW suburbs. It's NY style. The crust is very thin and the cheese is really flavorful with their homemade pizza sauce. Will get their pizza again in the future! read more

Garibaldi's serves food that you expect at a Portillo's, or Buona beef, not in terms of quality or quantity, but just the type of food. Which is kind of hard considering the aforementioned restaurants are not too far. But what I like about this restaurant is the overall customer experience, no yelling over a microphone so now it's your order is ready, just friendly people and staff serving your order out when ready. I went with the grilled chicken sandwich, which was actually pretty good. The rest of my family got the usual junky food, but they liked it as well. The restaurant is pretty spacious, with plenty of seating and booths to go all around. BATHROOM REVIEW: Located near the back, the men's bathroom was not that great. Kind of smelly but I guess overall functional. There's a couple urinals and a couple of sinks. Sit or squat? Squat. read more
